The end of the war and the rest of the 20th century would have looked very different indeed. We've delved into our recent archive for this episode of History Undone.

December 27, 2024 The Battle of The Somme: How its Deadly Impact Went Far Beyond The Battlefield | History Undone
James Hanson is joined once again by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Alexander Watson to discuss one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the First World War: the Somme.

December 20, 2024 What If The Spanish Armada Had Won? The US Would Not Exist Today | History Undone
James Hanson is joined once again by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and the naval historian & YouTuber Drachinifel to discuss one of history's most storied naval fleets and failed conquests. The Spanish Armada set sail for England with the hope of invading, removing Queen Elizabeth I and reinstating Catholicism.

Yet the English were ready - engaging and pursuing them in the Channel. It meant the Spanish were forced to flee into the North Sea and navigate back home via the Northern British and Irish coast. It was disastrous, leading to many ships being lost, and the conquest of England was over. This is History Undone.
